Synopsis :
Based on Mari Yamazaki’s hit manga, the
film was about a bathhouse architect named
Lucius (Hiroshi Abe) in ancient Rome who time-
travels to modern-day Japan, where he is
dumbstruck by “advanced” Japanese bath culture
and borrows ideas that revive his flagging
career in Rome. He also meets a cute neophyte
manga artist, Mami (Aya Ueto), who is mad about
all things Roman and accompanies him back to
his own time, though the super-serious Lucius
is barely aware of her existence.
